POLICE have ruled out any link between the death of Rahul Singh and the recent anti-terrorism operations in the town.

Residents in the area have been tense since an address in Micklefield Road was cordoned off in connection with the alleged plot to blow up transatlantic flights and the search of nearby King's Wood continues.

But police were quick to say there was no evidence to suggest Mr Singh's death was in any way linked to the anti-terrorist operation running in the area.

One neighbour said: "I thought it was something to do with this bomb thing, you would do. I did know them, they're a young couple with a child. We used to see them and say hello and that was about it."

Another neighbour said: "He was a nice guy, just him and his wife and his young daughter. He was always improving the house, he's done all the garden and fencing. He's only been there a couple of years.

"He was always very pleasant. We used to talk, particularly when he was doing his building work, he seemed to be fairly occupied with that sort of thing."

A concerned resident added: "I came back about 7pm. All I saw was the police cars outside. Our next door neighbour heard some shouting. I was in the back room and had the telly on.

"I did see someone come out on a stretcher, that must have been him, I couldn't tell if it was a woman or a bloke. The ambulance came and was there quite a while, they didn't take him away straight away."

A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of Wycombe father Rahul Singh.

Angus Robertson, 38, of Norman Court, Micklefield Road, appeared at Wycombe Magistrates' Court yesterday.

Robertson, wearing a white jumper, spoke only to confirm his name, age and address and entered no plea. Piara Dhanju, for Robertson, did not apply for bail and his client was given legal aid.

Robertson was remanded in custody and will now appear at Aylesbury Crown Court next Tuesday, August 29.
